He wasn't a very cunning linguist in this case, was he?

So should the poor boy be deverbed or denounsed? Don't just point out the problem, supply a solution, please.

Andy did better than I did. I managed to pick up the 8" No98 off eBay for Au$90 (US$65), brand new. Very nice thing to have.

Damn right 8-)

Bad photo, mislabelled - perfect noodling territory for the watchful bottom feeder.

OK. I'd start with Wittgenstein but then move forward in time a bit to Foucault (not the pendulum dude, the other dude) then go backwards to Russell, Kant, and Descartes.

Steer betweeen the Scylla of Phenomenology and the Charybdis of Dialectical Materialism.

Follow this line through Aquinas, thence to Aristotle, and at this point you should be able to figure out which tool to use to deal with your alignment problem.

Yes, I can imagine.

I keep my eyes peeled but haven't found a decent level at any garage sales yet.

Grok that. I keep an eye out for misspellings which leave the item virtually unseen, then snatch it up for a song.

if you think you're anal about machinery setup, don't get one of these. it'll show you the difference of how level your table saw top is when your next door neighbor sneezes.

I paid about US $40 for the 8" on ebay. used, but perfectly functional.

True, but if I could establish the level of the main body of the saw in a sufficiently precise way, and then compare the level of the wing in a similarly precise way, I could gauge how much the two planes diverge from each other. It seems a reasonable enough theory; I just don't have anything to measure levelness with sufficient precision to produce any useful information.

I guess I need to come up with a really straight straight edge that doesn't flex, and some feeler gauges. Neither of which I have, or I would have done it that way already.

You're going to work wood on this, aren't you? Need wood tolerance. You'll be using a jointed edge to reference your cuts, use one now.

I've proven that I wasn't a very cunning linguist in this case for sure. It took reading that a dozen times to get the joke. Duh.

Well, for the record, I AM a cunning linguist, dammit. Just ask SWMBO. ;)

How is SWMBO doing ? I assume that she's home & back in charge.

She made an official proclamation that "swim-bo" was back on the job about two weeks ago, I guess. She gets the rest of the tubes out in two weeks. She's back at work. Worked part time last week. Back at work full-time as of today. She's doing pretty well. Getting to gossip with all her she-buddies about all the juicy gossipy hoosabludgja has done wonders for her.
